theironduke1 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I think this must be a costume piece, Kevin ... I don't think it is military and I've never seen it before. However, I can always be wrong!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 No, I agree with you - a made-up piece. They were never in dyed felt - and since this is a Georgian Crown, it would never be in this condition. The other point is that the back of a Sabretache is usaully with a number of flapped pockets in the leather, in order to carry messages and despatches. Hope you didn't pay too much ?

Stuart Bates Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Interesting that the cipher is VR, i.e. Queen Victoria, and the crown would also appear to be that of QV. I suspect that the Duke is correct in saying that it is a theatrical piece. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
